However, these are not the only things that bother Lilith.

It's like a wheel war, the enemy strikes again and again, first the two Lohin, who are difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake, and the control of the feelings of the believers.

After this...... No, maybe it's already ready.

Living in the city on the east side, a strange disease suddenly began to pervade. However, it is not like an ordinary illness, but it is also fundamentally different from the plague.

The evidence that it is not a plague is that it is not contagious, only the "sick" person is tormented, however, the evidence that it is not an ordinary illness is also obvious.

It's not just an ordinary cold or fever.

"Lilith, at present, the symptoms of the patients are very consistent. ”

It was Anne who was in charge of the matter, but she looked even more haggard away from Lohin's troubles.

Sure enough, this thing ...... It's not as simple as it seems.

"All of the patients had fever and weakness, and they gradually began to lose their ability to survive. ”

Anne explains, "It started with hypothermia, then progressed to weakness in the limbs, and finally to almost paralysis. At present, it has only reached this Cheng dù, but if it continues like this, it is estimated that it will be ......."

"Death from weakness...... Really?"

The fan that followed Lilith covered her face, and no one could see what she was thinking now, but at least it looked like something was wrong.

Obviously we should have eaten happily together, why did you suddenly encounter such a thing......

"Is that really the case!?"

"Little princess, these patients...... Where have you been before...... Do you have any questions?"

Aware of Lilith's gaze. The phantom side turned over the face. "For example...... Some places like scenic spots...... For example...... Cherry blossom trees or something?"

"Cherry blossom trees. Do you mean the tree full of pink flowers?"

Anne muttered for a moment, then suddenly came to her senses, "Ah, indeed, there is such a strange tree in the cordoned off place where the sick gather in large numbers......! How did you ......?"

"Burn it, I hope it works. ”

"Xiaoyu, where are you going?"

Aware of the anomaly of the ghost. Lilith hurriedly tugged at her sleeve, "Why did you leave now that you know the reason?"

"I'm sleepy. ”

Yu folded her fan, even though she didn't look sleepy at all, but like she was withdrawing.

It's a rare thing to encounter, it stands to reason that you shouldn't be so timid as abnormal, and also, with this lame excuse of being sleepy. What the hell are trying to cover up?

It's not right to inquire about the privacy of You, but ......

"It's not sleepy. Before you go to bed, tell me about the obviously suspicious cherry blossom tree!"

"Li-chan, I'm not your pawn anymore, right?"

"I know, but I just won't let you go!"

"That's what a scoundrel does...... Didn't I say that?"

You was a little annoyed, this was originally an impossible thing to see, "A fire is burned, if it can't be burned, find a magician to bombard, as long as you don't get close, it doesn't matter." It's the best way to do it. ”

"It's all housing there, you say a fire burned it?" Lilith tugged at Yu's clothes, while Malogar watched at a loss.

"Come with me! I guess this has nothing to do with your sister! Why are you avoiding her?"

“......”

"Let's go, Sister Anne, Xiao You said that you can't get close, so let's observe on the periphery. ”

Lilith forcibly dragged Yu and walked through the streets with Anne.

Even if it's the middle of the day, it shouldn't be so deserted. But according to Anne, the number of residents suffering from strange diseases is increasing, and they have no choice but to find new shelters elsewhere.

So, except for the soldiers who are in charge of guarding, this place is almost a ghost town. And, because of that thing, the whole city became strange.

That's right, it's something that you won't miss when you stand outside the city. It's a huge tree, and according to Yu, it's supposed to be a cherry blossom tree. This should be the tree species that has been seen in the Eastern Continent, but the one in the distance is too big, almost covering half of the city.

Is it a type of minion? Or is it some strange trick?

"Lilith, stay for a while and leave, it's dangerous here, even the soldiers guarding need to keep changing guards, otherwise they will become weak immediately. ”

"I see. ”

Lilith nodded, turned around and pulled Yu over, "You...... Please. I'm afraid everyone knows nothing but you. ”

"It's not magic, it's not a creature, it's a demon. ”

After a long time, the deeper frowning Youcai slowly spoke, "The purpose is not to make people sick, but to ...... Absorbing the essence is really ...... The scene that makes me nostalgic, has it grown so big?"

"Ghost ...... Have you seen it?"

"Whew...... Ritsu-chan really likes to get to the bottom of things. ”

Yu sighed softly, "It's not annoying, but it'...... Li-chan and the little princess, hurry up and go back, so is Ryu-chan. I want to go in and have a look. ”

"But ......"

"The demon tree sucks the essence of the living, and I am already dead. ”

Yu slowly stepped forward, "And...... Since you came, it was too ...... to say goodbye without saying goodbye It's a little more ruthless. ”

......

This is really a long-awaited breath of hometown.

Yu caught a petal and held it close to his nose.

The fragrance is mixed with a dazzling, yet dangerous taste. This qiē shows that this is not an ordinary cherry tree, but indeed that one tree demon.

Fortunately, Li-chan and the others have already left, so they don't have to worry about superfluous problems.

Sakura, must be waiting for herself under that tree......, right?

Although I want to ask her why she can stand under this dryad without any scruples. Although I want to ask, why did she actually resurrect the ruined Dryad. Although wanted to ask her. She was already a corpse herself. Or is it a life that is attached to the dryad, or is it ...... She is already a dryad herself.

But...... How do you say that?

I'm Yu, and she's my sister Sakura, and it's I who used her, or rather, enslaved her. And at the end of Sakura's life, she sacrificed a qiē to save herself.

And such a self. Such an incompetent, ignorant, hateful, and hateful self, but he doesn't remember what happened afterward.

Forget whether you have rejected the name of "genius", whether you have buried Sakura well, and whether you have reformed after that.

The memories of a qiē stopped at the moment when Sakura died for herself, and she just held on to her thoughts and became a ghost who could never get her memories back. What's even more sad is that I don't even know how I died, how I became a ghost. This kind of thing has been forgotten.

This must be...... Sakura brought a curse to herself. She must have hated herself so much, hated her sister for taking advantage of her. So she's under a rare opportunity. chose resurrection without hesitation, in order to ......

Words of revenge...... I can only accept it silently, because this is myself, this is the apology that Yu must make to Sakura.

The petals under his feet rubbed against the vamp of his shoes, rustling. No matter how long the road is, it will eventually come to an end.

It was a huge cherry tree, and it seemed that the baptism of time had made it more and more prosperous. And under the cherry blossom tree, the cherry tree leaning on the trunk must be this beautiful but dangerous dryad.

Sakura retreated from the dryad she had seen, and she became a dryad herself......

"With so many petals, it's going to cause trouble for the cleaning uncle, Sakura. ”

Yu came to the other side of the trunk where Sakura was leaning. The ghost has no life, so naturally there is no need to worry about being sucked out of essence. However, the original residents of this place did not have such a good life.

Sakura shouldn't be like this, a guy who involves irrelevant people for no reason, it's good to be angry with her, but why is she......

"No one is going to come here. ”

Sakura smiled, Yu didn't see it, but, maybe this is the so-called relative, she felt it.

"It's a beautiful place, isn't it...... Sister?"

"It's beautiful, but I think it's better to have this kind of tree in my garden. The many petals fell on Yu's body, and it was true that it was a breathtakingly beautiful scene for Yuu and Sakura, but, "This is not where it grows." ”

"A guy with a foul smell all over my body woke me up, albeit with some disgust. ”

Sakura turned around, and the petals rose, and then fell again, "But, thanks to her, I finally have a chance to make my wish come true." Of course, this also comes at a price. ”

“......”

"I'm not interested in these strangers, I'm just trying to find you!"

Sakura pounced, but ......

Unable to resist, no, or simply not resisting.

Yu was so sluggish, defenseless, and Sakura fell into this sea of flowers.

"Have you forgotten something? Hurry up, remember it. ”

Forgot what to do?

No, I didn't forget anything, because you didn't do anything wrong to Sakura, and you can't forget it at all.

"I'm sorry, Sakura. I...... Already in repentance. ”

"Not this!" Sakura's hands trembled, and she was desperate to urge something, but these were useless bubbles.

"You still don't remember, why...... Why do you forget something so important?"

"Because...... Am I a ghost?"

“!”

Come on, if the dissipation of the soul can counteract the mistakes that Yu made to Sakura......

If this is the case, the sisters can be reconciled, even if only for a brief moment......

It's worth it.

Because, isn't this the meaning of the ghost as a ghost, to exist in the world?

"There's more to the dryad than that, if you still want to help those strangers......"

After a long time, Sakura stood up, and she turned her back, as if to signal Yu to disappear quickly.

"It's almost time to use your head to think about it, what the hell have you forgotten?"
